What is it?

The Molecular Music Generator (MMG) is a command line program that is fed a set of variables which it parses into a musical composition and writes into a MIDI file. This MIDI file can subsequently be opened in a DAW or be fed to instruments to create music.

Duncan Lockerby's algorhitm

MMG uses an algorhitm to generate musical patterns. The algorhitm was concocted by Duncan Lockerby, who named it "the Molecular Music Box". His algorhitm defines a set of rules which determine the outcome of the composition.
